Jadugar_Jaggu•2/3/25, 4:20 PM

Ok thanks, well this is somewhat concerning if there are some tasks which use memory too much.

That's why may be my workflow steps are throwing an error of cpu/memory limit after doing work of around 128 MiB ( nearly )

But on retry it's again working till 128 MiB

what's this behaviour?

has there been any discussion on setting error callbacks for workflow steps? I’d love an

onError

onError

onError callback i could pass where i could set some custom logic to try when a step errors. E.g.:

    step: WorkflowStep,

        retries: { limit: 3, delay: 1000, backoff: "exponential" },
        onError: async (error, retry) => {

Matt Silverlock•2/4/25, 4:46 PM

Isn’t that just another step? Write an outer step that encapsulates both.

Any

onError

onError

onError

onError callback would still have to be treated like another step, but ends up being another not-quite-a-step API with its own semantics.

Run stepA, catch the error, call optional stepB, etc.

Dom•2/5/25, 4:10 AM

Hello!
I'm working on my first workflow. Its supposed to send a couple of emails via Resend.
The workflow itself works.

But I want to call it from a Pages project.

In my wrangler.jsonc I have:

  "services": [
    {
      "binding": "WORKFLOW_SERVICE",
      "service": "wf-portcity-ai"
    }
  ],

  "services": [
    {
      "binding": "WORKFLOW_SERVICE",
      "service": "wf-portcity-ai"
    }
  ],

  "services": [
    {
      "binding": "WORKFLOW_SERVICE",
      "service": "wf-portcity-ai"
    }
  ],

  "services": [
    {
      "binding": "WORKFLOW_SERVICE",
      "service": "wf-portcity-ai"
    }
  ],

But what should I type the

WORKFLOW_SERVICE

WORKFLOW_SERVICE

WORKFLOW_SERVICE

WORKFLOW_SERVICE Env variabe as?
And how do I trigger my workflow?

D

Dom•2/5/25, 4:37 AM

https://developers.cloudflare.com/workflows/build/call-workflows-from-pages/

This would really benefit from a complete source example

Cloudflare Docs

Call Workflows from Pages · Cloudflare Workflows docs

You can bind and trigger Workflows from Pages Functions by deploying a Workers project with your Workflow definition and then invoking that Worker using service bindings or a standard fetch() call.

that could work, but

yieldEvent is outside of a step - meaning that these calls can be repeated multiple times (not sure if that's you want or not)

It'd be cool if you could update some state from within a workflow and then be able to access that state by calling the workflow binding from a worker
